Even With $1.5 Billion in Cash, This Pot Stock Isn't a Buy

Even With $1.5 Billion in Cash, This Pot Stock Isn't a Buy

Over the past 13 months, the marijuana industry has done a 180 -- and not the good kind. Following a first quarter in 2019 that saw more than a dozen pot stocks gain at least 70%, the past 13 months have featured across-the-board declines for North American cannabis stocks of 50% to 95%. Meanwhile, in the U.S., high tax rates on legal cannabis have made it virtually impossible for retailers to compete with the black market.
